LUC GIBBONS

The women’ s basketball coach is, in the
eyes of many, simply fantastic. In only her
second year at SMC, she has led her team
to a4~2 record so far. Prior to coming to St.
Mary’s, Coach Shann Hart held the top
mond for six years, and
experience
came to St. Mary’s just before last season
and led the team to a 14-12 record, 7-7 in
the CAC conference.
She likes thecompetitivenessoftheCAC
conference in particular. “The CAC is a
very competiti veconference, so al any given
time, any team can win.” Even more than
the athletic appeal, Coach Hart says she
like the small student body of SMC, the
good student to teacher ratio, and the fact
that the school is on the water. In this
respect, St. Mary’s is similarto her home-derprivileged
youths, as well as clinics for
the Boys and Girls Club of America ben­efit
from the proceeds jg
All these factors figured i f her decision
to come to St. Mary’s, and the school is
very lucky to have both her personality and
her talents as part of its staff.

The 1997-98 women’s basketball sea­son
at St. Mary’s had a rough start, with
just one win in three games played. How­ever,
since having notched that one victory
(though a crushing one) against SUNY-Potsdam
by a score o f60-34, these athletes
have soared.
It started with the game against Newport
News. Thatnight, junior guard Kim Brown
was 5-8 from the field and hit all three of
her three-point attempts, as well as all four
free throws to bring in 23 points for the
Seahawks. She also brought in five offen­sive
and four defensive boards to lead the
team in rebounding for the evening. Going
into the half, St. Mary’s held a command­ing
30-18 lead.
During the second half, however, New­port
News kept it close, but St. Mary ’ s still
outscored them 38-37 for the half to walk
away with a 68-55 victory. That was
number one. Number two came against
Goucher last Wednesday night in their first
CAC matchup. Brown again led the
Seahawks with 12 points with Leslie Kline,
the team’s captain, bringing in 10. Erica
Pearson controlled the ball that evening
with a total of 13 rebounds and six steals.
St. Mary’s led 31-13 at the half, but
Goucher fought back hard in the second,
outscoring St. Mary’s 31 -27. Fortunately,
it wasn’t nearly enough and the Seahawks
walked away with a victory in their first
conference game and their second straight
overall.
To top it all off, the women smashed
Mary Washington in their second confer­ence
game and brought their winning streak
to three. Stats haven’t been released at
press time, but look for them in upcoming
issues of The Point News.
As it stands, the women are currently 4-
2 overall, and undefeated with two straight
wins in the conference. For now, the
Seahawks are riding high on the crest of
what looks to be a season of tidal wave
proportions.
